This is a machine that will let you recycle drinking water bottles (PETE) into 3D printer filament. This machine is based on REPRAP Arduino Mega with RAMPs 1.4 shield and 3D printer stepper motor, heater and thermocouple.

The files here provide a chassis to assemble the boards and power supply under a wood board with the heater, bottle shredder and gear box on top of the board.

We printed used PETG 3 layers for all walls and 25% infill. Supports on the plate.

Here is the playlist guide to how to build everything:

The spacer is for adding the LCD smart display board to this existing model:

The gear box is made from this exiting model:

The bottle shredder we used is this existing model:

We made our own bottle shredder if you can't grind the bearing that is less complicated but does need some work. Those files are included.

We have a webpage with more details and what parts we purchased to build this.
